Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of inverter installation structure, and in particular to a leakage protection fixing device and electrical box. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the continuous development of energy storage equipment, users have increasingly higher requirements for energy storage equipment. They not only need high energy density, but also need to be mobile, lightweight, flexible and easy to transport, and have unlimited use (can charge and discharge at the same time), which need to meet the various usage requirements of daily home and outdoor scenarios.

[0003] Mobile outdoor energy storage units require lightweight and flexible movement due to the requirements of their application scenarios. Therefore, they can only use specific inverters, which are expensive and cannot perform charging and discharging simultaneously, thus limiting their application scenarios.

[0004] To address the high cost and inability to charge / discharge requirements of conventional outdoor energy storage inverters, an indoor integrated energy storage inverter was introduced. However, due to the different application requirements of indoor and outdoor energy storage inverters, indoor energy storage inverters often require real-time grounding to achieve equipotentiality, while mobile integrated energy storage units often cannot meet this requirement when used outdoors. This poses a risk of the inverter casing becoming electrified. Since the inverter casing is often fixed to the sheet metal casing of the electrical box with bolts and nuts, this can cause the electrical box casing to become electrified, posing a danger to the user.

[0005] Therefore, how to prevent electrical conduction to the electrical box casing while fixing the inverter and ensuring insulation safety is the current technical problem to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0014] Furthermore, the mounting hole includes a necked section whose diameter gradually decreases towards the bottom of the fastener base.

[0015] Furthermore, the elastic deformation portion is at least two lobe-shaped structures divided around the assembly hole.

[0037] To explain in detail the technical content, objectives, and effects of this utility model, the following description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0038] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 A leakage-proof fixing device, comprising:

[0039] Mounting bracket 1, wherein the mounting bracket 1 is provided with at least one mounting hole 11;

[0040] The fast wire base 2 is made of elastic insulating material and is inserted into the mounting hole 11;

[0041] Fastener 4 is used to fix electrical equipment 5. When fastener 4 is assembled with the quick-release base 2, the quick-release base 2 expands radially at least partially and locks into the mounting hole 11.

[0042] As can be seen from the above description, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model provides a leakage-proof fixing device that uses elastic insulating material to achieve insulation isolation between the electrical equipment 5 and the mounting bracket 1, solving the problem of "the indoor inverter's casing becoming electrified due to lack of grounding." The radial expansion clamping structure ensures dual reliability of mechanical fixing and electrical insulation, eliminating the need for an additional grounding device, simplifying the structure and reducing costs, while also providing stability and safety.

[0043] Furthermore, the fast wire base 2 is provided with a groove slot 23, which engages with the mounting hole 11.

[0044] As described above, the circumferential limiting of the reinforcing wire base 2 and the mounting bracket 1 prevents loosening or rotation, improves structural stability, and ensures insulation performance during long-term use.

[0045] Furthermore, the quick-wire base 2 includes an elastic deformation portion 24, and the quick-wire base 2 is provided with an assembly hole 21; the elastic deformation portion 24 expands radially when the fastener 4 is assembled into the assembly hole 21.

[0046] As described above, when fastener 4 is installed, the elastic deformation part 24 expands radially, forming a "self-tightening" fixation that eliminates the need for tool pre-tightening, simplifying the installation process and improving assembly efficiency. Simultaneously, the pressure generated by the expansion further enhances the insulation performance.

[0047] Furthermore, the mounting hole 21 includes a neck 22 whose diameter gradually decreases towards the bottom of the fastener base 2.

[0048] As described above, the neck 22 guides the insertion direction of the fastener 4, prevents uneven elastic deformation caused by skewing, ensures uniform distribution of expansion force, and improves clamping reliability.

[0049] Furthermore, the elastic deformation portion 24 is at least two petal-shaped structures divided around the assembly hole 21.

[0050] As described above, the petal structure generates multi-directional stress when it expands, which enhances the friction with the mounting hole 11 and improves vibration resistance; at the same time, the gap between the petals provides deformation space and reduces the risk of brittle fracture of the material.

[0051] Furthermore, the mounting hole 11 is polygonal, and the groove slot 23 of the fastener base 2 is adapted to the shape of the mounting hole 11.

[0052] As described above, polygonal structures (such as rectangles) provide stronger circumferential constraints than circular holes, preventing the fast wire base 2 from rotating and ensuring the stability of the insulation path, making them particularly suitable for vibration environments.

[0053] Furthermore, the fast wire base 2 is specifically made of plastic.

[0054] As described above, plastic materials have good insulation, corrosion resistance and processability, are less expensive than metal insulating parts, and are lightweight, meeting the lightweight requirements of outdoor equipment.

[0055] Furthermore, there are at least four mounting holes 11, which are distributed around the mounting projection position of the electrical equipment 5 on the mounting bracket 1.

[0056] As described above, multi-point support ensures uniform stress distribution on the equipment, avoiding loosening caused by stress concentration at a single point; the circumferentially distributed holes provide a symmetrical insulation barrier, improving the overall leakage protection performance.

[0057] An electrical box includes an energy storage inverter, a leakage protection device, and a box casing;

[0058] The leakage protection device adopts the leakage protection fixing device described above, and the inverter is fixedly connected to the outer shell of the electrical box through the leakage protection device.

[0059] As can be seen from the above description, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The electrical box of this utility model achieves insulation isolation between the electrical equipment 5 and the mounting bracket 1 through elastic insulating material, solving the problem of "the indoor inverter's casing becoming electrified due to lack of grounding." The radial expansion clamping structure ensures dual reliability of mechanical fixing and electrical insulation, eliminating the need for an additional grounding device, simplifying the structure and reducing costs, while also providing stability and safety.

[0060] Furthermore, the inverter is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 1 of the leakage protection device via fastener 4, and the mounting bracket 1 of the leakage protection device is fixedly connected to the outer casing of the electrical box.

[0061] As described above, the leakage protection device achieves an insulated connection path from "inverter → mounting bracket → electrical box casing", clearly defines the blocking point of the conduction link, and strengthens safety assurance.

[0062] This utility model discloses a leakage-proof fixing device and electrical box, which is suitable for insulation fixing during the installation of electrical equipment, and is especially suitable for insulation safety protection of indoor energy storage inverters applied to outdoor energy storage scenarios.

[0067] Specifically, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The number of mounting holes 11 is 6, specifically 3 mounting holes 11 are provided on each side of the mounting projection position of the electrical equipment 5.

In other equivalent embodiments, the electrical equipment 5 may also be directly provided with fixing holes.

[0079] In this embodiment, the mounting hole 21 is located at the top center of the quick-wire base 2 and extends through the quick-wire base 2. From top to bottom, it has a necked structure after a constant diameter structure at one end.

[0080] The fast wire base 2 is provided with a groove slot 23, which is engaged with the mounting hole 11 through the groove slot 23;

[0081] The fastener base 2 includes an elastic deformation portion 24, which expands radially when the fastener 4 is assembled into the assembly hole 21.

[0082] The mounting hole 11 is polygonal, and the groove 23 of the fastener base 2 is adapted to the shape of the mounting hole 11.

[0083] In this embodiment, the mounting hole 11 adopts a rectangular structure, and the groove 23 of the quick-connect base 2 corresponds to the shape of the mounting hole 11. The rectangular mounting hole 11 and the groove 23 of the quick-connect base 2 are adapted to each other, improving the installation alignment efficiency, enhancing the structural matching degree, and ensuring the stability of fixation and insulation. The rectangular structure of the hole and the groove 23 of the quick-connect base 2 can prevent the quick-connect base 2 from rotating when the bolt is screwed into the assembly hole 21, ensuring the tight fit between the quick-connect base 2 and the mounting hole.

[0084] In other equivalent embodiments, based on the same concept, the mounting hole 11 and the recessed slot 23 can adopt other polygonal structures, such as triangles, hexagons, etc.

[0085] The elastic deformation portion 24 is at least two petal-shaped structures divided around the assembly hole 21.

In other equivalent embodiments, the fast wire base 2 can be designed as a number of petal-shaped structures according to its shape, material design, or fastening requirements.
